Abstract:
To address the concern of environmental pollution, it is necessary to study the effect of environmental regulation on industrial solid waste emission reduction in China. This paper aimed to analyze the effectiveness of provincial environmental regulation (both formal and informal) on the industrial solid waste emission reduction. The results show that both the effect of formal and informal environmental regulations on industrial solid waste emission intensity present an inverted “U” shape. The threshold value of per capita GDP as an indicator variable is CNY 16,299 and CNY 15,572 respectively. The effect on pollution emission reduction will appear when the value is higher than the threshold, and the two-way transmission mechanism between formal and informal environmental regulations does exist. When GDP per capita exceeds CNY 27,961, there is a phenomenon of “rebound” in the effect of informal environmental regulation on pollution reduction. Based on the findings, it was suggested that both formal and informal environmental regulation should be promoted to achieve the goal of industrial solid waste emission reduction. The coordination between formal and informal environmental regulation should be considered when the government makes policies. Different environmental regulation policies should be implemented in different regions. Informal regulation should be enriched and further promoted. Environmental law should play an important role in maintaining the public’s participation in environmental regulation to prevent the failure of informal environmental regulation.

Abstract:
The four Nordic countries share several basic features concerning industrial relations, enabling a discussion of conflict regulation to be restricted to five aspects: by-laws and bargaining traditions, bargaining structure, mediation, state intervention in the bargaining process, and legal regulations concerning industrial action. Regulations in the four countries reflect to some extent the varying historical capacity of the main union confederations to centralise collective bargaining. Variations also relate to the sources of the regulations, i.e. whether they are unilateral, bilateral (collective agreements) or state imposed. These differences and their strengths and weaknesses are discussed, as are trends in industrial action, pointing out the rise of public-sector strikes and newer features of industrial conflict in the private-service sector.

Abstract:
This paper examines the application of the techniques of economic analysis to occupational health and safety regulations using occupational noise as an example. The paper explores the extent to which economic impact studies are practically feasible and useful in relation to occupational health and safety legislation. Six studies of the same regulatory change, from four countries were analysed. The results of these studies ranged from a strongly negative to a significantly positive net present value, depending on the assumptions made. The factor which had the greatest influence on these differences was the way in which benefits are costed. It is shown that in the field of Occupational Health and Safety, economic analysis does not produce a single valid net present value or benefit to cost ratio on which a decision to legislate can sensibly be based. However the analysis can, if properly directed provide useful information on factors which will enable organisations to optimise their response to the regulation and authorities to introduce regulations in a way which does not bear with unreasonable weight on specific sectors of the community.

Abstract:
In this paper, we employ a directional distance function to estimate the opportunity cost arising from environmental regulations in China’s industrial sector. The change of opportunity cost is decomposed mathematically into two components including technical change and input change. Our results show that the opportunity cost attributed to environmental regulation is nil in some regions. The change of opportunity cost is marginal at the national level, as the positive effect of technical change is canceled out by the negative impact of input change on opportunity cost. Built on our mathematical decomposition, we further estimate the effects of environmental regulations on opportunity cost using a mediation model. It shows that environmental regulation has a significantly positive direct effect and a significantly negative indirect effect through foreign direct investment on opportunity cost. Our findings suggest, firstly, that inward FDI in China’s industrial sector represents relatively dirty production technology; and, secondly, industrial production has transited towards a less carbon-intensive input mix. This paper, therefore, provides new insights for the recent dynamics of carbon abatement performance of China’s industrial sector with policy implications.

Abstract:
The pharmaceutical industry produces a various toxic wastes. Generated waste increases the risk of environmental and ecosystem pollution. It is necessary to have proper waste management to prevent waste pollution to the environment. In 1999, WHO published “Guidelines for the Safe Disposal of Unwanted Pharmaceuticals in and after Emergencies”, that contain treatments and safe disposal method, which is appropriate for any country. Many countries had developed and published regulations and guidelines on waste management. This article aimed to review the handling of pharmaceutical industrial waste in five countries in Asia. This review included studies from ProQuest, Crossref, and Google Scholar. The pharmaceutical industries in Indonesia, India, Japan, Thailand, and China has their own state regulations in order to protect the environment. They also had implemented pharmaceutical industrial waste management following their regulation and guidelines. The method used to treat the waste is similar with WHO guideline. Some factors affecting the country regulations are the insufficient of land and waste management facilities, lack of awareness, low penalties, limited infrastructures, lack of waste testing facilities. The challenge in the future to handle pharmaceutical waste are increasing waste volume, decreasing land for waste management, sewer methods may contaminate water, possible air pollution due to incineration, so it is necessary to have more advanced methods in waste management that are safe for the environment and humans.Keywordz: Industry, Pharmaceutical, Waste Regulation, Asia

Abstract:
A comparison of approaches to industrial facilities’ safety management based on standard regulation and industrial risks management is carried out in this work. Development of technical solutions in the normative documents based on ideas of dangers inherent in object, as a matter of experience for accidents without regard to probability of these accidents realization leads to the fact that such decisions are either superfluous and don´t influence the object danger, or increase its danger. The analysis of modern approaches to statutory regulation of industrial safety and shortcomings of the existing Russian practice in this area has been presented. It has been shown that the international and national risk management standards allow pass to more effective control of safety level as to inadmissible risk absence, but not that by what decisions this level is reached.

Abstract:
Dans le premier chapitre de la thèse, je m'intéresse à l'impact de la politique du contrôle des concentrations sur le choix de fusion d'une firme qui peut soit effectuer une fusion nationale, soit effectuer une fusion internationale. Un enseignement du premier chapitre est que la politique du contrôle des concentrations doit prendre en compte les fusions futures qui peuvent être engendrées par une fusion initiale. Par exemple, le scénario d'une sortie du marché étranger par fusion suite à une fusion internationale non profitable. Une politique du contrôle des concentrations trop sévère pourrait en fait agir comme une barrière à la sortie et donc décourager les fusions internationales. Dans le deuxième chapitre la thèse, j'examine l'impact de la compétition entre une firme privée et des firmes publiques sur les prix et l'investissement dans de nouvelles infrastructures.Du fait de fonctions objectifs différentes, la firme privée en monopole choisira le prix de monopole alors que la firme publique nationale choisit un prix permettant des subventions croisées entre zones à bas coûts et zones à coûts élevés. Le prix d’une firme publique locale dépend de la zone où elle est située. En monopole, la firme publique nationale a le niveau de couverture le plus élevé, alors que le niveau de couverture de la firme privée et des firmes publiques locales est identique. En duopole, les prix sont compléments stratégiques pour la firme privée et substituts stratégiques pour les firmes publiques. La compétition amène la firme privée à baisser ses prix, contrairement aux firmes publiques qui peuvent être amenées à les augmenter. Dans le troisième chapitre de la thèse, j'étudie l'impact de la compétition entre deux firmes en prix et en divulgation de données personnelles. Dans un marché biface, il y a les consommateurs d'un côté, et un courtier en données de l'autre. Je démontre que les firmes adoptent deux types de stratégies commerciales qui sont la résultante d'un arbitrage entre l'exploitation des données personnelles, le niveau données personnelles apportées par le consommateur, et la disposition à payer des consommateurs. Si les consommateurs ont une disposition à payer faible, les firmes emploient une stratégie impliquant des prix bas (voire négatifs) et un niveau de divulgation de données élevé. Si les consommateurs ont une disposition à payer élevée, les firmes emploient une stratégie impliquant des prix élevés et un niveau de divulgation de données nul. En single-homing, une fusion augmente le pouvoir de marché et n'a pas d'impact sur le niveau de divulgation de données. Avec le multi-homing, une fusion a pour impact de diminuer les prix et d'augmenter le niveau de divulgation de données si les firmes ne peuvent pas monétiser les données des multi-homers
In the first chapter of the thesis, I study how merger policy affects the choice between in-market and cross-border merging. An insight of the first chapter is that the merger policy should consider subsequent mergers triggered by an initial decision to merge, which here corresponds to the scenario of an exit-by-merger after a failed cross-border merger. In the second chapter of the thesis, I examine the impact of competition between a private firm and public firms on prices and investment in new infrastructures. An insight from this analysis is that due to distinct objective functions, the private firm charges the monopoly price when it is a monopoly, while the national public firm charges a price such that it cross-subsidizes between low-cost and high-cost areas. Local public firms charge prices contingent on the investment cost in their own area. In monopoly, the national public has the largest coverage, whereas the local public firms cover the same areas as the private firm. In mixed duopoly, prices are strategic complements for the private firm and are strategic substitutes for public firms. Competition leads the private firm to set lower prices, while public firms may charge higher prices. In the third chapter of the thesis, I investigate the impact of competition between two firms in prices and information disclosure levels. In a two-sided market, there are consumers on one side, and a monopoly data broker on the other side. An insight from this analysis is that firms adopt two types of business strategies due to a trade-off between the exploitation of consumer information, the level of information provision, and consumer valuations. If consumer valuations are sufficiently low, firms engage in disclosure of consumer information (low-privacy regime) and charge low (even negative) prices. In contrast, if consumer valuations are sufficiently high, firms do not engage in disclosure of consumer information (highprivacy regime) and always charge positive prices. If consumers single-purchase, a merger to monopoly increases market power but is privacy-neutral. With multi-purchasing, a merger to monopoly decreases prices and privacy levels if firms are unable to monetize multi-purchaser information

Abstract:
Aquesta tesi doctoral es troba en el camp de l'organització industrial i se centra en tres mercats, és a dir, el mercat de motors de cerca, la indústria bancària i el mercat de pagaments amb targeta. Utilitzo enfocaments teòrics i empírics per estudiar qüestions clau en aquests mercats, com la competència, la fixació de preus i el antimonopoli. En aquest sentit, aquesta tesi doctoral té els tres objectius següents. El primer objectiu és estudiar si i en circumpstancies circumstàncies l'asimetria entre els motors de cerca tendeix a augmentar o disminuir amb el temps i si és possible augmentar el domini amb la monopolització. En aquest sentit, exploro i resolc un joc d'inversió de duopoli dinàmic per dos motors de cerca competidors on inverteixen simultàniament en R & D per millorar la qualitat dels resultats de cerca al llarg de el temps. Els resultats mostren que, en determinades condicions, l'asimetria entre els motors de cerca s'esvaeix amb el temps i la ruta òptima de qualitat i inversió en R & D convergeix cap a l'equilibri d'estat estacionari. A més, trobo que quan la taxa de descompte és prou gran, l'asimetria entre els motors de cerca augmenta amb el temps i l'estructura de mercat passa d'un duopoli a un monopoli. En segon lloc, estudi de com el projecte de Zona Única de Pagaments en Euros (SEPA) afecta la competència entre els bancs europeus en el mercat de pagaments minoristes. Per abordar aquesta pregunta, exploro i resolc un model de competència de preus no lineal entre dos bancs asimètrics en termes de capital considerant la discriminació de preus en pre-SEPA i preus uniformes en post-SEPA sota la presència d'economies d'escala. Els resultats mostren que el patró de transaccions té un paper vital en els efectes de la SEPA sobre la competència entre bancs. La competència és menys intensa en l'etapa posterior a la SEPA quan el patró de transaccions està orientat a nivell nacional. A més, la comparació d'abans i després de la SEPA suggereix que la aquestaintensifica la competència quan les economies d'escala són prou grans. A més, mostro que l'excedent de consumidor millora després de la SEPA com a resultat de preus uniformes, però l'efecte en el benestar depèn del cost de compliment del seu compliment. En tercer lloc, examino empíricament com els canvis en la taxa d'intercanvi afecten els preus minoristes a Espanya. La tarifa d'intercanvi és un pagament del banc del comerciant (anomenat adquirent) a el banc de titular de la targeta (anomenat emissor) per transacció amb targeta. Aquesta és una tarifa fonamental que afecta l'ús de pagament amb targeta per part de la titular de la targeta i l'acceptació de la targeta per part d'un comerciant. Em centro en els dos costats del mercar i estudi les relacions a curt i llarg termini entre la taxa d'intercanvi i els preus minoristes considerant un panell de 10 sectors comercials diferents a Espanya des del primer trimestre del 2008 fins al quart trimestre del 2019. Els resultats mostren que, a llarg termini, els preus minoristes disminueixen com a resultat de la disminució de la taxa d'intercanvi, com havien esperat les autoritats antimonopoli.
Esta tesis doctoral se encuentra en el campo de la organización industrial y se centra en tres mercados, a saber, el mercado de motores de búsqueda, la industria bancaria y el mercado de pagos con tarjeta. Utilizo enfoques teóricos y empíricos para estudiar cuestiones clave en estos mercados, como la competencia, la fijación de precios y el antimonopolio. En este sentido, esta tesis doctoral tiene los tres objetivos siguientes. El primer objetivo es estudiar si y en qué circunstancias la asimetría entre los motores de búsqueda tiende a aumentar o disminuir con el tiempo y si es posible aumentar el dominio con la monopolización. En este sentido, exploro y resuelvo un juego de inversión de duopolio dinámico para dos motores de búsqueda competidores donde invierten simultáneamente en R&D para mejorar la calidad de los resultados de búsqueda a lo largo del tiempo. Los resultados muestran que, en determinadas condiciones, la asimetría entre los motores de búsqueda se desvanece con el tiempo y la ruta óptima de calidad e inversión en R&D converge hacia el equilibrio de estado estacionario. Además, encuentro que cuando la tasa de descuento es suficientemente grande, la asimetría entre los motores de búsqueda aumenta con el tiempo y la estructura del mercado pasa de un duopolio a un monopolio. En segundo lugar, estudio cómo el proyecto de Zona Única de Pagos en Euros (SEPA) afecta la competencia entre los bancos europeos en el mercado de pagos minoristas. Para abordar esta pregunta, exploro y resuelvo un modelo de competencia de precios no lineal entre dos bancos asimétricos en términos de capital considerando la discriminación de precios en pre-SEPA y precios uniformes en post-SEPA bajo la presencia de economías de escala. Los resultados muestran que el patrón de transacciones tiene un papel vital en los efectos de la SEPA sobre la competencia entre bancos. La competencia es menos intensa en la etapa posterior a la SEPA cuando el patrón de transacciones está orientado a nivel nacional. Además, la comparación de antes y después de la SEPA sugiere que la SEPA intensifica la competencia cuando las economías de escala son lo suficientemente grandes. Además, muestro que el excedente del consumidor mejora después de la SEPA como resultado de precios uniformes, pero el efecto de la SEPA en el bienestar depende del costo de cumplimiento de la SEPA. En tercer lugar, examino empíricamente cómo los cambios en la tasa de intercambio afectan los precios minoristas en España. La tarifa de intercambio es un pago del banco del comerciante (llamado adquirente) al banco del titular de la tarjeta (llamado emisor) por transacción con tarjeta. Esta es una tarifa fundamental que afecta el uso de pago con tarjeta por parte del titular de la tarjeta y la aceptación de la tarjeta por parte de un comerciante. Me centro en dos lados del mercado y estudio las relaciones a corto y largo plazo entre la tasa de intercambio y los precios minoristas considerando un panel de 10 sectores comerciales diferentes en España desde el primer trimestre de 2008 hasta el cuarto trimestre de 2019. Los resultados muestran que, a largo plazo, los precios minoristas disminuyen como resultado de la disminución de la tasa de intercambio, como habían esperado las autoridades antimonopolio.
This doctoral dissertation is in the field of industrial organisation and focuses on three markets namely search engine market, banking industry, and card payment market. I use theoretical and empirical approaches to study key issues in these markets such as competition, price setting, and antitrust. In this regard, this doctoral dissertation has three objectives as follows. The first objective is to study whether and under what circumstances asymmetry between search engines tends to increase or decrease over time and whether increasing dominance with monopolisation is possible. In this regard, I explore and solve a dynamic duopoly investment game for two competing search engines where they simultaneously invest in R&D to improve the quality of search results over time. The results show that under certain conditions, the asymmetry between search engines vanishes over time and the optimal path of quality and R&D investment converge to the steady-state equilibrium. I further find that when discount rate is sufficiently large, the asymmetry between search engines increases over time and the market structure turns from duopoly to monopoly. Second, I study how Single Euro Payment Area (SEPA) project affects competition among European banks in the retail payment market. To address this question, I explore and solve a model of non-linear price competition between two asymmetric banks in terms of capital by considering price discrimination in pre-SEPA and uniform pricing in post-SEPA under the presence of economies of scale. The results show that the transaction pattern has a vital role in the effects of SEPA on competition between banks. Competition is less intense in post-SEPA when the transaction pattern is domestically oriented. Moreover, comparison of pre- and post-SEPA suggests that SEPA intensifies competition when economies of scale are large enough. I further show that consumer surplus improves in post-SEPA as a result of uniform pricing but the effect of SEPA on welfare depends on the compliance cost with SEPA. Third, I empirically examine how changes in the interchange fee affect retail prices in Spain. The interchange fee is a payment from the merchant's bank (called the acquirer) to the cardholder's bank (called the issuer) per card transaction. This is a fundamental fee that affects the card payment usage by a cardholder and the card acceptance by a merchant. I focus on two sides of the market and study the short- and long-run relationships between the interchange fee and retail prices considering a panel of 10 different merchant sectors in Spain from the first quarter of 2008 to the fourth quarter of 2019. The results show that in the long-run, retail prices decrease as a result of declining interchange fee as had been expected by antitrust authorities.

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the welfare implications of different government policies aimed to diminish the consumption of energy produced from fossil fuels in the United States. The first of these policies, taxation on gasoline consumption, diminishes consumption by increasing the cost per mile traveled. However, this policy measure has not been favored by policy-makers, and instead, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, CAFEs, were put in place since the seventies. This policy consists of a pre-established threshold of fuel-efficiency, measured in miles per gallon, that car manufacturers selling cars in the United States are subject to each year. For each manufacturer, the CAFE is calculated, which weights the fuel-efficiency of each car model by the number of units sold of that car model. If the CAFE for a given manufacturer lies below the pre-established standard for that year, the manufacturer is subject to a fine. I exploit the manufacturers' past behavior in setting prices for their car models to estimate structural demand and supply parameters that characterize the car industry facing these policies. With those parameters, I can estimate the welfare impacts of tightening the CAFE standard to the new threshold set by the Obama administration and compare those impacts to the ones from raising gasoline taxes to obtain the same gasoline reduction in consumption. The findings are that in the short run, taxation is a less costly policy than tightening the CAFE standard. The second and third essays study the consequences of adopting renewable sources for electricity production. These technologies bring reductions in emissions of pollutants to the atmosphere, but not at no cost. They are expensive and their introduction to already existing electricity systems requires modifications to the usual scheduling of power plants because of the intermittent nature of the renewable sources, such as solar. We compute the equilibrium effects of this policy finding that if the environmental benefits are not taken into account, these policies are welfare decreasing with the amount of renewable sources. Some lower levels of penetration are more cost efficient if we take into account dynamic considerations in the scheduling of the plants.

Abstract:
The general motivation of this research is to explore the effects of the coexistence of public and private companies on the allocative efficiency of the supply of electricity. In particular, this thesis investigates from an empirical perspective to what extent the distinction between private and public companies is relevant to understand the competition in the wholesale electricity generation markets. I apply several econometric techniques and theory advances in industrial organization branch on data of the firms of the Colombian market. The case of the Colombian electricity market is suitable to study this issues for four reasons: i) It is an oligopoly in which private and public companies compete under the same rules. ii) The most important firms in the Colombian electricity sector are mature organizations, with a conventional business vision. In fact, many of these companies belong to transnational capital that carry out activities in several continents. iii) The market setting have a conventional design similar to other liberalized electricity markets. It operates as a multi-unit uniform-price auction. iv) There is available information with daily and even hourly resolution of the generation market variables. I consider that these are key elements for justifying the external validity of the results. This thesis presents three essays that aim to answer three questions related to the interaction between competition in electricity markets and their ownership structure. Chapter 1 addresses the question: Do the switch from public to private management have impacts in the bidding strategy of specific generation assets? Chapter 2 explores the question: Do public and private generation companies respond the same to the incentives to relax competition? Chapter 3 focuses on the question: Do private companies have a greater propensity to establish coordination relationships in comparison to public firms? In the first chapter of this thesis I evaluate the impact of privatization on the bidding of electricity units participating in a liberalized wholesale electricity market. The results of this evaluation contribute to better understand whether privatization is the right decision in an environment of imperfect competition. In this essay I adopt a policy evaluation approach to estimate the impact of changes from public to private management on the bidding prices of electricity generation units. I use information of bidding prices of the Colombian wholesale electricity market and exploit the changes of management of generation units documented in the period 2006 - 2018. The methodologies and results presented in this thesis contributes to the literature of mixed oligopoly because they place special emphasis on the behavioral differences between private and public companies and studies a field experience in which they compete in the same relevant market. The empirical evidence resultant from the policy evaluation method is aligned with the theoretical predictions of comparative statics arising from the behavioral differences of mixed oligopoly models. The second chapter of this dissertation proposes a methodology in order to find differences between the reactions of private and public firms when they face incentives to exercises unilateral market power. Several common events in the electricity industry such as transmission restrictions, the concentration of generation property within specific areas, the non-storage capacity of electricity and the low elasticity of demand, provide opportunities to exert market power. That is why this issue has been widely studied and discussed theoretically and empirically. The novel element of this essay in relation to this strand of the literature is accounting for the distinction between private and public companies regarding competitive behavior. Chapter 3 investigates from an empirical perspective the role of disclosure information in the stability of informal coordination agreements. Particularly, this chapter focuses in the economic effects of the announcement and the put into effect of a non-transparency policy implemented in the Colombian wholesale electricity market in 2009. We propose an identification strategy for isolating the effect of a coordinating relation from the confusion factors related with unilateral market power. The characteristics of the reform of the transparency policy allow to link the simple announcement of the policy change with the collapse of a coordinated strategy of private firms in a repeated interaction context. We use several empirical tools to assess the impact of the simple announcement of a modification in the transparency conditions on the average bidding price of private firms. We present an empirical analysis of the average bidding price data over August 2008 - July 2009. Overall, the evidence presented in the three essays of this dissertation indicates that the distinction between public and private companies may be a relevant aspect for explaining the functioning of competition in liberalized industries.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper analyzes if neighborhood income inequality has an effect on informal regulation of environmental quality, using census tract-level data on industrial air pollution exposure from EPA´s Risk Screening Environmental Indicators and income and demographic variables from the American Community Survey and EPA´s Smart Location Database. Estimating a spatial lag model and controlling for formal regulation at the states level, we find evidence that overall neighborhood inequality - as measured by the ratio between the fourth and the second income quintile or the neighborhood Gini coefficient - increases local air pollution exposure, whereas a concentration of top incomes reduces local exposure. The positive coefficient of the general inequality measure is driven by urban neighborhoods, whereas the negative coefficient of top incomes is stronger in rural areas. We explain these findings by two contradicting effects of inequality: On the one hand, overall inequality reduces collective action and thus the organizing capacities for environmental improvements. On the other hand, a concentration of income at the top enhances the ability of rich residents to negotiate with regulators or polluting plants in their vicinity. (authors' abstract)

Abstract:
This paper analyzes if neighborhood income inequality has an effect on informal regulation of environmental quality, using census tract - level data on industrial air pollution exposure from EPA's Risk Screening Environmental Indicators and income and demographic variables from the American Community Survey and EPA's Smart Location Database. Estimating a spatial lag model and controlling for formal regulation at the states level, we nd evidence that overall neighborhood inequality - as measured by the ratio between the fourth and the second income quintile or the neighborhood Gini coefficient - increases local air pollution exposure, whereas a concentration of top incomes reduces local exposure. The positive coefficient of the general inequality measure is driven by urban neighborhoods, whereas the negative coefficient of top incomes is stronger in rural areas. We explain these findings by two contradicting effects of inequality: On the one hand, overall inequality reduces collective action and thus the organizing capacities for environmental improvements. On the other hand, a concentration of income at the top enhances the ability of rich residents to negotiate with regulators or polluting plants in their vicinity.

Abstract:
This dissertation studies the policy process which produced and implemented the Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) system in 1990, administered by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP). It assesses how IPC was implemented in terms of setting pollution control standards, hQWIPC compares with the air pollution regime it replaced, and in terms of IPC's policy output. Policy network concepts are used to analyse the networks of interaction between policy actors as they seek to influence the policy process. The research involved interviews with these policy actors, plus analysis of relevant documentation - including a content analysis of the new IPC public register. The analysis is presented historically, beginning with the policy network of regulator and industry which negotiated air pollution controls. Public interest groups criticised this regime in the early 1970s for the informal, consensual, and confidential way it set and enforced air pollution standards. During the 1980s, European legislation put pressure upon domestic pollution control practice. Industry began lobbying for improvements to the flexible British regime as a bulwark against European formalism. Several factors led to HMJP's creation and IPC introduction, including European and industrial pressures, but also a belief by government that change had deregulatory potential. Regulatory procedures under IPC are more transparent and formal. However, standard setting was at HMIP's discretion, to be exercised during IPC implementation. HMIP initially intended to break from the past and do this at arms'length from industry. Analysis of this implementation stage uses the organic chemicals sector for case study. It explains why IPC has suffered an 'implementation deficit' compared to HMIP's initial intentions. Moreover, improvements to industrial pollution control are negotiated in a policy network similar to its air pollution predecessor. It is argued that within the formal legal framework, persists an infonnal, consensual, and somewhat opaque pollution regime.

Abstract:
Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Biotecnologia
The current high demand for plastics has become unsustainable. Polyhydroxyalkanoates are biopolymers stored by bacteria that can potentially replace modern plastics due to: wide range of applications; biodegradability; use of renewable resources as feedstock. High costs of current Polyhydroxyalkanoates production can be reduced using mixed cultures of organisms. Activated sludge from wastewater treatment plants is selected for Polyhydroxyalkanoates production through the imposition of cycles of intermittent feeding. In this study, the acclimation of activated sludge using synthetic volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as substrate resulted in a culture rich in Paracoccus spp. and unidentified filamentous bacteria. Low cost substrates such as sugarcane molasses (SM) or cheese whey (CW) can be employed as feedstock for further cost reduction. This requires an additional step before the microbial selection to ferment the feedstock into VFAs. In this work, the feedstock was changed from SM to CW. The population fed with SM was rich in Actinomycetaceae, while the population fed with CW was rich in Streptococcaceae, affecting the VFA composition. Consequently, the PHA-storing population and the polymer were affected. In the fermented SM (fSM) phase, the population was rich in Azoarcus (41.5 - 64.6%) and in the fCW phase the population was more diverse. Changing the pH in the fermentation reactor also affected the selection stage with an increase in Thauera and Azoarcus and a decrease in Paracoccus. A significant unidentified population of one layer sheet- forming bacteria was observed. Lastly, the occurrence of cell-to-cell communication (QS) in the selection stage was investigated. Possibly, QS molecules were detected when the carbon source was depleted. All steps of polyhydroxyalkanoate production are interconnected and for optimization, all stages must be studied and improved. Moreover, if QS proves to be involved in polyhydroxyalkanoate storage, the addition of QS molecules to the process may be explored for further optimization.

Abstract:
Abstract Nuclear regulations aim to minimize industrial risk, and assure the safety of workers and the public. In order to effective, regulations will often impact industrial processes and sometimes, industry organisation. It is therefore logical that any change in the regulation and its philosophy will have a significant impact on the industry. This paper will present the evolution of the French regulations over the past 15 years, starting with the Nuclear Regulations which orientates the nuclear technology, toward maximizing safety of workers and public. Utilities and vendors have to comply with these regulations, which may modify the design and manufacturing process, and sometimes, industry organization. Through the case of the updating of French Nuclear order for pressure Equipment on September 3rd, 2018 [1], it will be reminded how the first Order in 2005 has affected current projects, and how nuclear codes has taken in account these new requirements from 2005 to 2015 [3]. It will be explained convergence of AFCEN codes requirements with regulation, and latest updating of ESPN Order in 2015 [3] and 2018 [1]. New approaches with Essential Safety Requirements, specific of European Regulation Pressure Equipment Directive in Europe (2014/68/UE) [7], give objectives to achieve, like risk analysis, Particular Material Appraisal (PMA), technical qualification of Material, among other, and they will be described, when they are applied to nuclear Equipment. Guides and AFCEN Technical Publication (PTAN) will illustrate in detail how the RCC M issued in 2018 [5] has been improved. The communication will conclude with the analysis of the effect of the new French regulation on nuclear reactor’s projects outside France.

Abstract:
The objective of the GoI to regulate an affordable natural gas price through MEMR Regulation No. 8/2020 undoubtedly benefit the industrial sector. However, the regulation should be carefully implemented and monitored to prevent revenue loss in the natural gas business entities and avoid underperforming gas users/industries. The study finds three main issues in implementing the new regulated natural gas price. First, the compensation limit for the upstream natural gas entities is problematic for KKKS, whose annual loss is higher than the annual government take. Second, a detailed incentive mechanism for natural gas transmission and distribution companies is unavailable. And third, the evaluation scheme on the industry’s performance remains unclear.

Abstract:
In this working paper, our focus is on the constitutional debates and case law regarding the right to privacy, adopting a method that is largely theoretical. In an accompanying separate working paper, A South African Public Law Perspective on Digitalisation in the Health Sector, we employ the analysis developed here and focus on the specific case of digital technologies in the health sector. The topic and task of these papers lie at the confluence of many areas of contemporary society. To demonstrate and apply the argument of this paper, it would be possible and valuable to extend its analysis into any of numerous spheres of social life, from energy to education to policing to child care. In our accompanying separate paper, we focus on only one policy domain – the health sector. Our aim is to demonstrate our argument about the significance of a public law perspective on the constitutional right to privacy in the age of digitalisation, and attend to several issues raised by digitalisation’s impact in the health sector. For the most part, we focus on technologies that have health benefits and privacy costs, but we also recognise that certain technologies have health costs and privacy benefits. We also briefly outline the recent establishment (and subsequent events) in South Africa of a contact tracing database responding to the COVID-19 pandemic – the COVID-19 Tracing Database – a development at the interface of the law enforcement and health sectors. Our main point in this accompanying paper is to demonstrate the value that a constitutional right to privacy can bring to the regulation of digital technologies in a variety of legal frameworks and technological settings – from public to private, and from the law of the constitution to the ‘law’ of computer coding.

Abstract:
The internet and digital technologies are upending global trade. Industries and supply chains are being transformed, and the movement of data across borders is now central to the operation of the global economy. Provisions in trade agreements address many aspects of the digital economy – from cross-border data flows, to the protection of citizens’ personal data, and the regulation of the internet and new technologies like artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision-making. The UK government has identified digital trade as a priority in its Global Britain strategy and one of the main sources of economic growth to recover from the pandemic. It wants the UK to play a leading role in setting the international standards and regulations that govern the global digital economy. The regulation of digital trade is a fast-evolving and contentious issue, and the US, European Union (EU), and China have adopted different approaches. Now that the UK has left the EU, it will need to navigate across multiple and often conflicting digital realms. The UK needs to decide which policy objectives it will prioritise, how to regulate the digital economy domestically, and how best to achieve its priorities when negotiating international trade agreements. There is an urgent need to develop a robust, evidence-based approach to the UK’s digital trade strategy that takes into account the perspectives of businesses, workers, and citizens, as well as the approaches of other countries in the global economy. This working paper aims to inform UK policy debates by assessing the state of play in digital trade globally. The authors present a detailed analysis of five policy areas that are central to discussions on digital trade for the UK: cross-border data flows and privacy; internet access and content regulation; intellectual property and innovation; e-commerce (including trade facilitation and consumer protection); and taxation (customs duties on e-commerce and digital services taxes). In each of these areas the authors compare and contrast the approaches taken by the US, EU and China, discuss the public policy implications, and examine the choices facing the UK.
